And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets 
shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath 
prophesied; . 

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a husbandman; 
for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 

(Zechariah, 13:4, 5.) 

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before 
thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, 
and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether 
there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath 
been heard like it? (Deuteronomy, 4:32.) 

Woe unto thee, O Land, when thy king is a child, . . . 

(Ecclesiastes, 10:16.) 

And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: 
and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all 
the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or open- 
ed the mouth, or peeped. (Isaiah, 10:14.)

CITY OF TRUTH. 15 



CHAPTER I. 

CITY OF TRUTH. 

Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to 
Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, 
saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched 
forth upon Jerusalem. (Zechariah, i:i6.) 

And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand 
hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess 
it forever, from generation to generation shall they 
dwell therein. (Isaiah, 34:17.) 



What is known as the Harlem Line, proclaimed by 
the Harlem grants and charters, issued by authority 
of the King of England (1666-1686), recorded in the 
office of the Secretary of State, Albany, N. Y., ratified 
and confirmed by acts of the New York Legislature^,

Stretches forth upon the City of New York, from 
Seventy-fourth Street on the East River, to One Hun- 
dred and Twentv-ninth Street on the Hudson. 



The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a 

lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; 

and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 

(Genesis, 49:10.) 



For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will 
bring again the captivity of my people Israel and 
Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return 
to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall 
possess it. (Jeremiah, 30:3.) 

Then shall the children of Judah and the children 
of Israel be gathered together, and appoint them- 
selves one head, and they shall come up out of the 

land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 

(Hosea, i:ii.) 



The descendants of the original Harlem Patentees 
have been gathered together, and have appointed them- 
selves One Head. 



CITY OF TRUTH. 17 

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the 
breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up 
upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 

(Ezekiel, 37:10.) 

Breath has come into thousands of descendants of 
the Harlem Patentees, — their lineage proved ; thev live 
and stand ''up upon their feet," more than forty thou- 
sand in all,^''an exceeding great army/' 

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and 
shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather to- 
gether the dispersed of Judah from the four corners 
of the earth. (Isaiah, 11:12.) 

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; in those days it shall 
come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all 
languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the 
skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with 
you: for we have heard that God is with you. 

(Zechariah, 8:23.) 

The Jewish World estimates that every fourth per- 
son in the Borough of Manhattan is a Jew or a Jewess. 
Few realize that the Jewish tide of immigration for the 
past quarter of a century has steadily set toward the City

of New York, until to-day nearly seven hundred thou- 
sand Jews dwell within its limits ; and fewer still ap- 
preciate the fact, that, while these numbers are steadily 
increasing, the population of Jerusalem, by the official 
census of 1895, did not exceed twenty-five thousand 
Jews. 

Statistics show the incoming to Xew York of five 
hundred and sixty-one thousand and seventy Jews be- 
tween October first, 1884, and July thirty-first, 1902. 
Of these, four hundred and eight thousand eight hun- 
dred and ninety-five settled permanently in the City. 



And it shall come to pass in that day, that the 
Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river 
unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered 
one by one, O ye children of Israel. (Isaiah, 27:12.) 

And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the 
midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and 
I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness* 

(Zechariah, 8:8.) 

. . . half of the city shall go forth into captivity, 
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from 
the city. (Zechariah, 14:2.) 



CITY OF TRUTir. 19 

Is the first City, in the first country of the world, 
the long-looked-for City of prophecy ? 



I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall 
be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I 
will give it him. (EzekieK 21 :7.) 

And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel 
Tola, . . . (Judges, 10:1.) 



Attention is called in the following chapter to the 
true history of carrying on the preliminary work in- 
cident to the recovery of the Harlem rights and prop- 
erties, under the positive conviction that the City of New 
York is the prophesied City of Truth, — the New Jeru- 
salem. Let judgment be withheld for a time, 



. . . for if this counsel of this work be of men, 
it will come to nought: 

But if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest 

haply ye be found even to fight against God. 

(Acts, 5:38, 39)

CHAPTER II. 

APPOINTED WORK. 

In the year 1901, one of the descendants of the Har- 
lem Patentees, and her attorney, came to New York from 
Chicago, seeking financial assistance in the effort to re- 
cover certain Harlem lands. The claimant had been en- 
gaged several years in collecting evidence to prove her 
descent, and that of thirty-nine others, — the alleged sole 
owners of the lands in question. 

After months of legal investigation of the evidence 
submitted, and after a close scrutiny of the City and State 
records, the fact was disclosed that the early conception 
of the extent of the property involved, and the number 
of those entitled to an interest therein, had been meager 
in the extreme. It was discovered that the lands sought 
to be recovered were but a small part of a much larger 
tract, that included extensive, built-up portions of New 
York City ; and that, instead of forty persons, as w^as 



APPOIXTKl) WORK. 21 

supposed, at the outset, the entire number of descendants 
from twenty-three original Patentees of the vear 1666, 
through both the male and female lines, were easilv esti- 
mated to be forty thousand in number at the present day ; 
that each and all were members of a Corporation, and as 
such, were interested vitally in the Harlem lands, and 
were entitled to legal notice of every move to be taken 
in their recoverv. 

To proceed further in an undertaking, grown to vast 
proportions in a few short months ; to prove by legal 
means the lineage of forty thousand living descendants 
of the Harlem Patentees throughout a period of more 
than two hundred and fifty years : to supplv time, labor, 
and funds, necessary to locate each individual of this 
nimiber, dispersed over the known world ; and, finally, 
in the face of the Statute of Limitations, to expect the 
courts to overturn the title to one-half of the City of 
New York, presented a problem, indeed, fraught with 
untold difficulties. Yet, from the time when the im- 
mensity of the undertaking was fully realized, a strange 
sense of inward guidance, in the face of overwhelming 
odds, urged the immediate entrance upon the great work, 
until, finally, the feeling that a wrong must be righted, 
and that more than personal interests were involved, 
carried the decision of the question to a Higher Tri- 
bunal. 

At the close of an earnest prayer to God for direc- 
tion, for some sign to determine the question at issue, 



22 arise! take thy journey 

and in the presence of a witness, after declaration made 
that the Good Book alone could solve the problem, the 
answer was found by opening to the tenth chapter of 
Deuteronomy, at the eleventh verse : 

And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey 
before the people, that they may go in and possess 
the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto 
them. 



Born in 1864, and with genealogy extending on the 
paternal side through Lord Norbury, of Ireland, to the 
time of William the Conqueror (1066), thence by direct 
line to the house of Toulouse, of France, and on the 
maternal side through a line of Revolutionary patriots, 
including successive Governors of the State of New 
Jersey, the leader of the enterprise to recover the Harlem 
rights and properties, lays just claim to an illustrious 
ancestry. Brought up with all that luxury could proffer, 
successful to a degree in w^orldly affairs, blessed with 
wife, children, and fortune, one feature alone was want- 
ing to fill the cup of earthly happiness, — health ; the 
crowning essential of life had failed, whereupon came the 



APPOINTED WORK. 23 

conviction, evolved by an experience of eight vears with 
medical science, that relief through the means of drugs 
\vas not to be expected. 

Then it was that an involuntary transition occurred 
in a life theretofore devoted to worldly ends alone ; this 
was accomplished by the healing influence of Truth. 

At the close of the year one thousand eight hundred 
and ninety-eight, health was instantaneously restored not- 
withstanding the skepticism born of irreligion, and the 
scoffing at the treatment administered. 

The explanation of the so-called miracle, while 
simple in itself, tended to elucidate the heahngs of Jesus, 
and the apostles. 

Was this force of Spirit, that effected the healing 
above alluded to, the same power that in the early part 
of the first century opened the eyes of blind Bartim.eus 
by the wayside, and caused the cripple to leap for joy at 
the Beautiful Gate of the temple? 

Did Christ's command. Heal the sick ! imply a literal 
following in his footsteps without recourse to drugs? 
Are the material laws to surrender at last to the laws of 
Spirit? Has a legacy for mankind slumbered through 
the centuries, and can the works of Jesus be accomplished 
to-day through the understanding of the Principle he 
lived and demonstrated, as revealed in Christian Science? 



24 arise! take thy journev. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on 
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater 
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my 
Father. (John, 14:12.) 



To learn the application of this newly-discovered 
force in human afifairs became, after this, the mainspring" 
of life. Hence, followed an exhaustive study of all litera- 
ture bearing upon the subject, while the teachings of the 
Bible appeared in a new light. The more this Christ- 
Science was studied, the more wonderful it grew. That 
remarkable volume. Science and Health with Key to the 
Scriptures, the ''little book" of Revelation, — 



Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy 
belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as 
honey, — (Revelation, 10:9.) 



is mentally eaten up by Christian Scientists. The "Com- 
forter" of prophecy, 



. . . whom the Father will send in my name, he 
shall teach you all things, (John, 14:26.) 



APPOINTED WORK. 25 

not only opened the door of human knowledo^e to the 
hidden sayings, and ''dark sentences" of the Bible, but 
brought to light 



. . . things which have been kept secret from the 
foundation of the world, (Matthew, 13:35.) 

that all is Mind and blind's Idea ; that no life is in mat- 
ter ; and that man is immortal, — a mental, not a physical 
being. 

With many misgivings, the healing of simple cases 
was first attempted. Within a year, however, many 
patients daily received treatment, and the healing of all 
manner of diseases, organic and functional, bore witness 
to the astonishing fact that a Principle, which was known 
to Moses and to the prophets, had been discovered, al- 
though it had been hidden from the world since the early 
centuries of the Christian era. 

As the understanding of this Christ-Principle de- 
veloped the power to reflect Truth increased in propor- 
tion, until such diseases as valvular heart trouble, con- 
gestion of the lungs, hip disease, chronic stomach 
troubles, locomotor ataxia, and such habits as drunken- 
ness, and the use of drugs, — one and all yielded to meta- 
physical treatment. 

Of the manv healinos eflfected, tw^o will serve to 
illustrate this power of divine ]\Iind over matter. The 



26 arise! take thy journey. 

first was a case of water on the knee, the result of an 
accident. The patient had been lying for ten weeks 
helpless, with the limb greatly swollen, and was suffering 
excruciating pain. Seven physicians pronounced the in- 
jury to be of the most serious nature, some, even, main- 
tained that the patient would be a cripple for life. The 
effect of the first treatment was immediate. In twenty- 
four hours the swelling had decreased until the limb was 
almost normal in size. The following day the patient 
could bend the knee, and on the fifth day all sign of the 
trouble had disappeared. 

The second was a case of Graves disease, deemed 
incurable in materia medica, that yielded in like manner 
to the alterative effects of Truth. In three months trembl- 
ing of the hands ceased, protruding eyes receded, and 
other symptoms, resulting from what is termed ''thy- 
roid poisoning," disappeared, and a rightful condition of 
harmony was restored. 

This all-powerful influence of Mind, successfully ap- ' 
plied to the healing of disease, became, in business mat- 
ters as well, the prominent feature of control. Con- 
vinced that Christian Science embodied the truth, it was 
adopted as a religion; this brought from partner and 
friend of years standing, request for the dissolution 
of an eminently successful Wall Street firm. This also 
necessitated the re-establishment of a business career at a 
time when prejudice against this new-old religion was at 
its height. For two years thereafter, each step guided 



APPOINTED WORK. 27 

l)y the power of Life, Truth, and Love, success was 
never doubted. During this period, an incident worthv of 
mention occurred on the floor of the Xew York Stock 
Exchange, and will serve as an illustration of the 
effect of the impersonal power of Truth. 

While seated for a few moments during business 
liours, quietly reflecting divine Love through the chan- 
nels of thought, a broker in the next seat turned and 
said : *T have had neuritis in my arm for several days, 
and it has entirely disappeared while you have been sit- 
ting here ; I believe it is that Science of yours.'' 

Other proofs of the efficacy of the God-thought 
were dailv in evidence on the Xew York Stock Exchange, 
b)ut the result of its application to the purchase and sale 
of securities w^as particularly prominent on the ninth day 
■of May, 1901, — the date of the greatest panic Wall 
Street ever experienced. 

For months, amid the wildest speculation, stock- 
values had been steadily rising, until excitement in finan- 
cial circles had reached fever-heat. Early on the day 
mentioned, reaction ensued, prices began to fall, and a 
panic w^as at hand. The god of fear turned men into 
maniacs, and, in the wild scramble to liquidate, confusion 
worse confounded ended in pandemonium. Amid such 
surroundings, through the realization that ''perfect Love 
casteth out fear," orders for the purchase and sale of 
thousands of shares of stock, distributed throughout the 
list, were personally executed under the law of harmony. 



28 arise! take thy journey. 

This Christ-Principle, that applied to business, and 
that effected the cures of water on the knee, and Graves 
disease, was the Truth that healed the ten lepers nine- 
teen centuries ago. Rejected of men in the early part of 
the first century, and scoffed at to-day by the *Svise and 
prudent," it nevertheless stands revealed and demon- 
strated, through the teachings of Christian Science, as 
the second coming of Christ, — 



Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot 
receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth 
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and 
shall be in you. (John, 14:17.) 



Without further hesitation, the sign given was ac- 
cepted, and in obedience to the command, 



. . . Arise, take thy journey before the people, 

that they may go in and possess the land, which I 

sware unto their fathers to give unto them, 

(Deuteronomy, 10:11.) 



APPOINTED WORK. 29 

the great work of the recovery of the Harlem rights 
and properties was inaugurated. 

In the same manner of the first came the second 
Bible leading, — the forty-fourth verse of the thirty- 
second chapter of Jeremiah : 



Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evi- 
dences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land 
of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and 
in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the moun- 
tains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities 
of the south: for I will cause their captivity to re- 
turn, saith the Lord. 



At first reading, the words of the reference ap- 
peared to be utterly without application to the Town of 
New Harlem, and its revival into active being ; but 
later, upon reading the prophetic utterance in Dr. Poole's 
^'Anglo-Israel.'' that ''some of these days'' the evidences 
mentioned would be found, "to the great confusion of 
the unbelievers, and the great joy of all Bible students, 
especially the Anglo-Israelites," the interpretation of 
the passage became a revelation. 

One formidable difficultv that confronted the work 



30 arise! take thy jourxey. 

of restoring the Town of New Harlem into its ancient, 
rights and properties, under the patents of the King of 
England of 1666- 1686, and the tracing and locating of 
forty thousand descendants, proved to be the total dis- 
appearance from public view of the Harlem Town and 
Court records. The absence of these records from the 
public depositories was of more than passing significance 
to the successful recovery of the Harlem lands and 
privileges. Besides the historical, genealogical, and legal 
records, all of the greatest value to the project m hand, 
as w^ell as to the descendants of the Harlem Patentees, 
they contained the deeds, mortgages, wills and other in- 
struments covering the transfers of the various portions 
of Harlem lands by the freeholders and inhabitants of 
the Town. Upon the discovery that these ancient and 
valuable Harlem records w^ere missing, — for years pur- 
posely withdrawn from public view% — the hidden mean- 
ing of the reference from Jeremiah became apparent. 

These missing Harlem records w^ould undoubtedly 
disclose how men had bought ''fields for money," how 
they had subscribed and sealed ''evidences/' and had 
taken "witnesses" to the various transfers of Harlem 
lands, while the promise of the closing words, "I will 
cause their captivity to return, saitli the Lord/' remains 
to be fulfilled. 

Between the fifteenth day of September, 1901, the 
date of the inception of the Appointed Work, and the 
twenty-fifth day of December following, the Word came 
twelve times to open the Scriptures and read. 



APPOINTED WORK. 31 

Once, while in the odinary routine of business on the 
floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and oppressed 
by the weight of the magnitude of the undertaking, 
and impressed with what it meant to thousands inter- 
ested in the lands and properties, the Word came the 
third time. Open and read ! Telephoning at once to a 
Scientist in the office, the request was made, ''Open the: 
Bible and read the first verse that is seen," — and the 
twenty-fifth verse of the twenty-sixth chapter of I Sam- 
uel was read in reply : 



Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son 
David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt 
still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul re- 
turned to his place. 



This reference w^as accepted as a divine intimation 
of the success that would attend the work, and that all 
obstacles would finally be overcome, and is included 
among these leadings, although the act of opening the 
Bible was performed by another. 



32 arise! take thy journey.

And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew 
that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the 
Lord. (I. Samuel, 3:20.) 



Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over Jordan this 
day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier 
than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 



A people great and tall, the children of the Ana- 
kims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast 
heard say, Who can stand before the children of 
Anak ! 

Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy 
God is he which goeth over before thee; as a con- 
suming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring 
them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them 
out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said 
unto thee. (Deuteronomy, 9:1-3.)

Neither will I make the feet or Israel move any 
more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only 
if they will observe to do according to all that I have 
commanded them, and according to all the law that 
my servant Moses commanded them. 

(II. Kings. 21 :8.) 



All the inhabitants of the hill country from Leba- 
non unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, 
them will I drive out from before the children of 
Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites 
for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 

(Joshua, 13:6.) 

8. 

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also 
called: and whom he called, them he also justified: 
and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 

What shall we then say to these things? If God 
be for us, who can be against us? 

(Romans, 8:30, 31.) 

These five individual leadings which typified not only 
the acquisition, but the permanent occupation by the 



34 arise! take thy jourxev. 

rightful owners of the Harlem lands, and which directed 
their division by lot, — taken in connection with the in- 
spiration that canie with the former leadings, — led up 
to the earnest study of Bible prophecies. 

The book of Zechariah, in particular, claimed atten- 
tion, and in the second and third chapters, upon reading 
the passages: 

. Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusa- 
lem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the 
multitude of men and cattle therein, 

(Zechariah, 2:4.) 

... is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 

(Zechariah, 3:2.) 

. . . behold, I will bring forth my servant the 
' BRANCH, (Zechariah, 3:8.) 

a strange influence or sensation w^as experienced. At 
first, it came in the nature of a hint, — like the nudge of 
an elbow ; — in effect, it conveyed this thought, reduced 
to words : "You are that young man, — you are the one, — 
you are the > BRANCH ;'' and the feeling grew from 
possibility to probability. Then began a struggle to 
overcome an indescribable aw^e that accompanied the 



APPOINTED WORK. 35. 

thought of being personally connected with matters of 
Holy Writ, and the fear that attended the assumption of 
responsibilities involved, if the revelation mentioned 
prove true. 

A second reading of the lines quoted served to in- 
tensify the force of the feeling described. Then with 
deepest veneration, the Bible was opened, as in former 
like situations, for the word of God upon the subject, at 
the second verse of the sixty-sixth chapter of Isaiah : 



For all those things hath mine hand made, and all 
those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this 
man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a 
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. 

And again, a few days later, at the thirteenth verse 
of' the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy: 



10. 



And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the 
tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not 
be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the command- 
ments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee 
this day, to observe and to do them: 



36 

and finally, at the thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh verses 
of the eleventh chapter of I. Kings : 



And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David 
my servant may have a light alway before me in 
Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put 
my name there. 

And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign accord- 
ing to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king 
over Israel. 

If the eleven Bible leadings, which came in this 
manner, were of divine origin, but one interpretation 
was possible, namely, that a chosen one had come, and 
for a purpose undisclosed, except in the eleventh divinely- 
revealed Scriptural leading, wherein man and purpose for 
the first time are joined and are clearlv defined. 



In the year 1666 the Duke of York, brother of 
Charles II., King of England, through Governor Rich- 
ard Nicolls, issued a grant or charter to the freeholders 
and inhabitants of Harlem, that incorporated the Town of 



APPOIXTED WORK. 37 

New Harlem as a part or parcel of the greater Citv of 
New York, and conveyed to the Town, through its 
Trustees in the charter named, all lands on Manhattan 
Island north and east of a line stretched across the City 
of New York, according to the description of the grant, 
from Seventy-fourth Street on the East River, to One 
hundred and Twenty-ninth Street on the Hudson. 

This line, commonly known as the Harlem Line, 
crossed the City as described, and served to divide the 
lands of the freeholders and inhabitants of Harlem on the 
east from the lands of the City of New York, and 
formed, as well, the western boundary of what was 
known as the sixth or "out-ward" of the City. 

A second grant by the same authority, in 1667, ^^i^' 
a third, issued in 1686, by command of the Euglish King, 
through Governor Thomas Dongan, ratified and con- 
firmed the first. 

Between the years 1772 and 1824, the line in ques-

tion. In the first year mentioned, an act of the Colonial 
Assembly was passed appointing commissioner to "set-

Township of Harlem and the lands of the Mayor and 
Commonalty of the City of New York. On the third 
of April, 1775, a further act was passed; this act con- 
firmed the proceedings of the commissioners appointed 
by the preceding act, and settled the line, as it runs 
to-dav, under the ancient srrants and charters shore

described; while in 1820 and 1823, in the Legislature of 
the State of Xew York, acts, supplementary in nature. 
were passed in reference to the establishrnent of the line 
mentioned. ]\Ianifestly therefore : 

In 1666 the King of England stretched forth a line 
over the City of New York. 

In 520 B. C. Zechariah the Prophet wrote of the 
line that should stretch forth upon Jerusalem. 



Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to 
Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in 
it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be 
stretched forth upon Jerusalem. (Zechariah, 1:16.) 



Is New York^ with its famous Line, the prophe- 
sied City of Truth, — the New Jerusalem? A\'ill the City 
of New York — in the land of Shinar (the land of two 
rivers, — East and Hudson, — Zechariah, 5:11) — experi- 
ence, in the restoration of the Harlem rights and proper- 
ties, the overturning- predicted by Ezekiel the Prophet? 



I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall 
be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I 
will give it him. (Ezekiel, 21:27.) 



APPOINTED WORK. 39 

Three months had now passed in the work of re- 
covering of the Harlem lands, and sufficient progress had 
been made to disclose further the immensity of the -under- 
taking, and to develop a number of seemingly serious 
obstacles to its successful accomplishment. 

Under the principles of the English Common and 
Statute Laws, adopted by the decisions of the higher 
American courts, it was discovered that the ancient grants 
and charters of 1686 formed a Corporation known as the 
Town of New Harlem ; that under these same grants a 
gigantic Trust was formulated, — never terminated, — and 
could not end except, perhaps, by act of the Body-Cor- 
porate itself, or by decree of some Court of competent 
jurisdiction. Therefore, the Town of New Harlem had 
never been erased, and, until the happening of such an 
event, would never be erased from the civic may. The 
Town Corporation was the owner of all lands, not pre- 
viously legally alienated, above the Harlem Line, and 
tuider this principle of law, in the settlement of the 
Harlem rights and properties, the validity of the titles 
to one-half of the City of New York would necessarily 
be called in question. 

Lender thesse conditions, and among other essentials 
of the understaking, first, of the forty thousand living 
descendants, as many as possible must be traced back to 
the patentees of 1666, through parents, grand-parents, 
and great-grand-parents, and the lineage of each recorded 
and proved. 



40 arise! take thy jourxev. 

Secondly, an outline of the nature of the Harlem 
claims must be brought to the attention of the descend- 
ants traced, as indicated, with legal notice of the steps 
taken, and to be taken in their recovery. 

Thirdly, the parties in iterest must be gathered to- 
gether in a Town meeting, and such meeting held within 
the limits of the present City of New York, before an 
appeal to the courts could be instituted. 

To meet the remarkable exigencies of the situation 
above described ; to meet the odium attaching to the 
leadership of an enterprise, on its face, revolutionary in 
character ; to bring to public notice flaws that were, prac- 
tically, in all the titles to lands above Seventy-fourth 
Street in New York City, — titles guaranteed by the most 
wealthy and powerful Trust and Title Companies in the 
world, — must, perforce, be accomplished by divine help 
alone. 

If the opening of the twentieth century marks the 
''latter days'' of error, and the advent of the New Jeru- 
salem consciousness, or reign of Spirit; if the time is 
at hand when 

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law- 
giver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and 
unto him shall the gathering of the people be; 

(Genesis, 49:10.) 

if, as Professor Totten declares, *'the Eastern Passover

eclipsed as it arose at sunset, marked absolute midnight, 
or iow twelve,' on the universal dial of the ages, and 
that from now on the clock will be striking twelve for 
one thousand one hundred and forty-seven (plus) days, 
with so many punctuated events of note that no one will 
need to misunderstand them ;" if it is true that 

... half of the city shall go forth into captivity, 
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off 
from the city, (Zechariah, 14:2.) 

then is it true, also, that the Herculean task of reveal^ 
ing the Xew Jerusalem is imposed on one nominated, by 
the leadings described, to be a "prophet of the Lord?"" 
And the voice that called Samuel more than three thou- 
sand years ago, is it again heard at the dawn of the ful- 
fillment of prophecy? 

Even at midnight on the t\yenty-fourth day of De- 
cember, 1901, within that sacred Peniel where the human 
wrestled with the divine, a heartfelt appeal went forth^ 
in silent thought, to omnipotent ^Nlind to grant an im- 
mistakable sign to one willing and ready to serve and 
to suffer in the sacred cause of Christ — a sign that would 
forever dispel the doubts that arose concerning the lead- 
ership of an undertaking freighted wath such vital and 
far-reaching consequences to the human race. And the 
twelfth time the Word — "with God,'' and ''God'' — said: 
Open and read ! The opening and reading were at the 
tenth chapter of Judges, the first verse :

And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel

Son of max. 

The coming of the ''Son of man/' referred to by 
Jesus (Matthew, 24:27), is the coming of the ap- 
pointed one (Son) of God's ideas (generic-man), 
to perform a certain work. Even as Jacob prophesied 
three thousand six hundred years ago : . . . "unto him 
shall the gathering of the people be.'' (Genesis, 49:10.) 
When this event occurs the news will spread rapidly : 
^Tor as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth 
even unto the west ; so shall also the coming of the Son 
of man be.'' (Matthew, 24:27.) 



And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither 
seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of 
the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, 
or those that be with him, but in the day time. 

(II. Esdras. 13:52.)

"In different ages the Divine idea assumes differ- 
ent forms, according to humanity's needs" (M. W\, p. 
370) ; when materiahty sinks into insignificance by the 
elimination of personaHty-; when the world grows to the 
realization that "God is Spirit," and that . . . ''God cre- 
ated man in his own image, in the image of God created 
he him" (Genesis, 1:27), then the coming of the "son 
of man'' will be interpreted in a broader impersonal 
sense as the coming of the "Christ-understanding" (son) 
of God's creation (man), and will bring peace to all 
alike, — the full realization of Life, Truth, and Love. 



. . . my peace I give unto you: not as the world 
giveth, give I unto you. (John, 14:27.) 



Through the false concept of mortals, Christ was 
seen, as flesh and bones. 



. . . for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye 
see me have. (Luke, 24:39.) 

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient 
for you that I [material personality] go away: for if 
I [material personality] go not away, the Comforter 
[the realization of Spirit] will not come unto you; but 



4^ arise! take thy jourxev. 

if I depart [the Ego is absent from the body, and 
present with Truth and Love (S. & H., p. 14)], I 
[Spirit] will send him unto you. (John, 16:7.) 



JuDAH AND Israel. 

The word Judah of the Bible has two distinct 
spiritual interpretations, namely : "A corporeal material 
belief, progressing and disappearing" ; and, "the spirit- 
ual understanding of God and man appearing.'' (S. & 
H., p. 589.) When Jacob prophesied, "The sceptre shall 
not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between 
his feet until Shiloh come'' (Genesis, 49:10), he fore- 
told that the power should not depart from MORTAL 
MIND — "A corporeal material belief, progressing and 
disappearing." And when Hosea said: 

Then shall the children of Judah and the children 
of Israel be gathered together, and appoint them- 
selves one head, and they shall come up out of the 
land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel, 

(Hosea, i:ii.) 



the word Judah had a higher significance. '*Jesus was- 
born of Marv," while Christ "was born of God.'' (S. 



APPOrXTFD WORK. 45 

& H., p. 332.) Mary was of the tribe of Judah, and 
was first to perceive the Christ idea with sufiicientiv pure 
spiritual realization to bring into the seeming material 
■evidence her immaculate conception ("and the Word 
was made flesh," — John, i : 14), — through the operation 
of the so-called human laws, that took form in the infant 
Jesus. 

Therefore, the word Judah, in the passage quoted, 
is typical of those, who, like Mary, are first to perceive 
the Christ idea, the Truth as revealed in Christian Sci- 
ence, — "the spiritual understanding of God and man ap- 
pearing." 

While Judah has generally been accepted to signifv 
the Jews, in the spiritual interpretation of the v^'ord it 
refers to no particular race, inasmuch as "God is no 
respecter of persons." (Acts, 10:34.) The racial be- 
lief distinguishing one class from another, is exclusivelv 
man-made, and comes purely from association, because 
all are, in reality, the children of God. For the past 
forty years the gathering of the ^'dispersed of Judah 
from the four corners of the earth'' (Isaiah, 11 :i2), has 
been the result of Spirit working through avenues ofifer- 
ing the least resistance to Truth. These avenue? at pres- 
ent are largely represented by the Jewish race, not be- 
cause men call them Jews, but because their thought, "His 
blood be on us, and on our children" (Matthew, 27:25), 
was sent out into consciousness at the time of the cru- 
cifixion. This thought entailed added persecution dur- 



46 arise! take thy journey. 

ing the centuries to come, and amounted to a national 
curse : besides it became a universal law unto itself which 
brought about inevitable suffering. This, to human sense^ 
was unjust and cruel, but in reality was most salutary to 
spiritual growth. Suffering, experienced through the 
death of pride, and of other mortal beliefs ('T die daily.'' 
— I. Corinthians, 15:31), but opens the way for Spirit to 
enter the consciousness and to govern the actions of 
mankind. Whereas the Jews are hated to-day, the time 
is at hand when this false sense of contumely will be 
destroyed through the reflection of divine Love, and the 
descendants of Abraham w^ill be numbered among the 
first to imbibe the Truth and to reflect its healing power 
to others. Then, one wdio scientifically understands 
MAX. will be ''more precious than fine gold; even a 
man than the golden wedge of Ophir" (Isaiah, 13: 12), 
and "ten men . . . even shall take hold of the skirt of 
him that is a Jew.'' (Zechariah, 8:23.) 

The Children of Israel are they, who, irrespective of 
sect, race or color, hear the word of God, — ''and they shall 
hear my voice'' (John, 10:16), — and wdio are ''chosen" 
from the rest of the world, and are led to investigate 
and to see the Truth in Christian Science. Thus each one 
awakens to the understanding that he or she Is-Real, — 
is '^Diritual, and not material.

The Dry Boxes. 

(genealogies.) 

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me 
out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the 
midst of the valley which was full of bones, 

And caused me to pass by them round about: and, 
behold, there were very many in the open valley; 
and, lo, they were very dry. 



And he said unto me. Son of man, can these bones 
live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. 

(Ezekiel, 37'i-3) 

In the early stages of the Appointed Work, — the 
revealing the Xew Jerusalem, — doubt and uncertainty 
attended the effort to trace, throughout the two centuries 
past, the many thousand descendants of the Harlem 
Patentees, and to prove their lineage. The Valley was in 
truth ''full of bones," and as the children of Israel were 
gathered ''one by one" (Isaiah, 27 : 12), and as gener- 
ation followed generation, the answer to the question, 
''can these bones live?" became of vital importance to the 
successful outcome of the work. 



48 arise! take thv jorRNEv. 

Again he said unto me. Prophesy upon these bones, 
and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of 
th^ Lord. 



Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, 
I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall 
live : 



And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up 
flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put 
breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know 
that I am the Lord. 



So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I 
prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, 
and the bones cam.e together, bone to his bone. 



And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh 

came up upon them, and the skin covered them 

above: but there was no breath in them. 

(Ezekiel 37:4-8.) 



To prophesy is to "utter truth under divine inspi- 
ration." Throughout the Appointed Work during more 
than two years, "truth under divine inspiration" was 
dailv uttered," — 



Al»r()IXTEL) WORK. 49 

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my 
mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall 
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in 
the thing whereto I sent it; (Isaiah, 55.11.) 

and divine Love was reflected through the channels of 
thought, — until "the bones came together, bone to his 
bone,'' and ''the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, 
and the skin covered them above/' 

The thousands traced by name only, and their 
lineage proved through ten generations back to the Har- 
lem Patentees of 1666, were, as in the olden time, 
''reckoned by genealogy'' (Nehemiah, 7:5), with sinews, 
flesh, and skin come up upon them, — but /////// located, 
had ''no breath in them/' 

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, 
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith 
the Lord God; come from the four winds, O breath, 
and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 

(Ezekiel, 37-9-) 

''Then said he unto me," Utter truth to mortal con- 
sciousness ! Reflect divine Love, Son of man, and say 
unto mortal consciousness, "Thus saith the Lord God.'' 
Realize Omnipotent Mind through reflection, and send 
out love to those dead in mortal beliefs, that they may 
live! 



50 ARISE ! TAKE THY TOURNEY. 

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the 
breath came into them, and they lived, and stood 
up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 



Then he said unto me. Son of man, these bones are 
the whole house of Israel: behold, they say. Our 
bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off 
for our parts. 



Therefore prophesy and say unto them. Thus saith 
the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open 
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your 
graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 

And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have 
opened your graves, O my people, and brought you 
up out of your graves. 



And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, 
and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye 
know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed 
it, saith the Lord. (Ezekiel, 37:10-14.) 

A little over forty thousand living members of the 
Corporation, the Town of New Harlem, stand "up upon

their feet," — **an exceeding great army;" "the whole 
house of Israel," — all children of Israel ; "our bones are 
dried and our hope is lost," — cut off, seemingly, from 
all hope of their lineage being traced, and proved; "I 
will open your graves," — will remove all belief in death 
(or belief of life in matter) ; "brought you up out of your 
graves," — awakened to an understanding of file in INIind ; 
**I shall place you in your own land,'' — "the land of 
Israel." 



As the revelation of the Xew Jerusalem constituted 
the sole motive in the work to recover the Harlem rights 
and properties, and as all desire for personal gain from 
an enterprise so conducted was eliminated at the very in- 
ception of the undertaking, a delicate,, not to say para- 
doxical, situation arose. 

On the one hand, the oft'er to recover the Harlem 
rights and properties to the extent of overturning the 
titles to all lands above Seventy-fourth Street, in the 
City of Xew York, Island of ^^lanhattan, without de- 
mand for compensation from the Harlem heirs, pre- 
sented a proposition that was opposed to all ordinary 
business procedure, and was calculated on its face 
to discourage all co-operation, on the part of the 



52 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. 

claimants, which co-operation was essential to the success 
of the undertaking. On the other hand, to demand 
twenty-five per cent, of the proceeds of the recovery of 
the Harlem lands, as indicated in the Notification for- 
warded to the descendants of the original Patentees, 
seemed to be a participation in a sacred enterprise for 
personal gain, — a condition obviously contrary to the 
divine plan. In this dilemma an appeal, offered to God 
in silent prayer, brought answer, as in times past, to 
turn to the Bible for guidance. Under the inspiration the 
Book was opened at the fourteenth verse of the thirty- 
second chapter of J^i'emiah : 



Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; 
Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, 
both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; 
and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may 
continue many days. 



The two conditions, the one ''open" and the other 
^'sealed," must manifestly remain for "many days ;" at 
the Tow^n Meeting of the Corporation the demand for 
compensation of twenty-five per cent, must be relin- 
quished ; and all prospective recovery must be vested in 
the rightful owners ( . . . "taking nothing of the gen-

tiles,'' — III. John, 7), — the members of the Corporate 
body, the Town of Xew Harlem. 

Of the "seventy weeks determined upon thy people 
and upon thy holy city/' Daniel wrote : 

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and 
upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to 
make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for 
iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, 
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint 
the most Holy. (Daniel, 9:24.) 



The words of Daniel were acted upon as a guide in 
the Appointed \\'ork, — just seventy weeks from Christ- 
mas day, 1901 (the date of the twelfth leading), to the 
first day of May, 1903, when the first notice in the form 
of a circular letter, with the Authority to call a Town 
Meeting enclosed, was sent out to many thousands of 
descendants of the Harlem Patentees, — the Children of 
Israel. 



The Prophecies of Daniel. 



And four great beasts came up from the sea, 
diverse one from another; — (Daniel, y.Z-) 



54 ' ARISE I TAKE THY JOURXEV. 

the four strong reflectors of spiritual thought in the world 
to-day, — . . . *'four kings, which shall arise out of 
the earth" (Daniel, 7:17), — the Holy One of Israel; the 
Head of First Church of Christ. Scientist, Xew York 
City; and the Tw^o Witnesses. 

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I 
beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was 
lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the 
feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 

(Daniel, 7:4.) 

This fourth verse pictures the Lien of the tribe 
of JiKlah (Revelation, 5 :5), — the Revelator of Truth 
in this age, — sustained by powerful spiritual thought 
through divine realization ("eagle's wings"), in the 
battle to overcome the seeming forces of mortal mind. 
The struggle over, — the "wings thereof . . . pluck- 
ed," having risen above all materiality, — the Lion is 
"'lifted up from the earth," and stands, with undaunted 
courage, before the world, — living and demonstrating 
the divine Principle of life eternal. 



And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, 
and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three 
ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and 
they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 

(Daniel, 7:5.) 



APPOINTED WORK. 55 

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, 
which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; 
the beast had also four heads; and dominion was 
given to it. (Daniel, 7:6.) 



The two beasts mentioned in the above passages 
typify two women in our midst to-day, — the Head of 
First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York City, and 
one of the Two Witnesses. A fourth beast will readily 
be recognized in the present trend of current events. 



After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a 
fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong ex- 
ceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and 
brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet 
of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were 
before it; and it had ten horns. (Daniel, 'j\7.) 



''A. . .dreadful and terrible" fourth beast, that was 
seen in the "night visions," is even now speaking "great 
words against the most High \'^ is even now seeking to 
''change times and laws," — to '*be given into his band 
until a time and times and the dividing of time" (Daniel, 
7:25), through certain states and stages of conscious-

ness ; and is effecting cures to-day through the operation 
of ''one belief casting out another." (S. & H., p. 12.) 



. . . Elias truly shall first come, and restore all 
things. (Matthew, 17:11.) 



EHas means Christian Science. (S. & H., p. 585.) 
Christian Science, the impersonal Christ, — Truth, — must 
come ''and restore all things/^ all conditions in luiiversal 
consciousness-, whereby God's plan may unfold. This 
substitution of a material for a spiritual administration 
will be accompanied by indescribable suffering (beginning 
with the opening of the fourth seal. — Revelation, 6:7), 
resulting from the dying and the ultimate destructon of 
mortal beliefs, — "Tribulation such as was not since the 
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.'^ 
(Matthew, 24 : 21. )

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up 
among them another little horn, before whom there 
were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: 
and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a 
man, and a mouth speaking great things. 

(Daniel, 7:8.) 



The 'iittle horn," — little strength at first, in spiritual 
understanding, but growing constantly into higher and 
greater realization of the omnipotence of God, — Good. 



I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the 
Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white 
as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: 
his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as 
burning fire. (Daniel, 7:9.) 



A fiery stream issued and came forth from before 
him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and 
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: 
the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 

(Daniel, 7:10.) 



58 arese! take thy journey. 

The Prophet beholds here the thrones — the world, 
the flesh, and evil — "cast down" or overcome. He per- 
ceives that the spiritual Leader of the twentieth century, 
clothed in the white undivided garment of Christ, "did 
sit ;'' — rested in the spiritual consciousness of Love, sus- 
tained by the thousands upon thousands of God-thoughts, 
inasmuch as the "judgment was set and the books were 
opened," — ''Truth is reve::led. It onlv needs to be prac- 
tised." (S. & H., p. 174.) 



I beheld then because of the voice of the great 
words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the 
beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to 
the burning flame. (Daniel, 7:11.) 



As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their 
dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged 
for a season and time. (Daniel, 7:12.) 



Daniel's spiritual realization enabled him to see the 
ultimate triumph of Truth in the battle with error, 



APPOINTED WORK. 59 

wherein the beast,, or mortal mind's offspring- is slain ; the 
false concept of mortal mind is destroyed by the consum- 
ing fire of Love. 



I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the 
Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and 
came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him 
near before him. (Daniel, 7:13.) 



And there was given him dominion, and glory, and 
a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, 
should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting do- 
m.inion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom 
that which shall not be destroyed. (Daniel, 7:14.) 



The Prophet discerned mentally not only the meet- 
ing of the Son of man with the Ancient of days, but 
God's law to be the gathering of all nations imder One 
Head, — "one fold, and one shepherd." (John, lo : i6.) 



60 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. 

But the saints of the most High shall take the king- 
dom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever 
and ever. (Daniel, 7:18.) 



Following the description of the four beasts and 
their different qualities of thought; the struggle, as de- 
picted in the ''casting down" of the thrones, — the false 
material dominion ; the sitting of the Ancient of days ;. 
the judgment and the opening of the books, comes the 
promise of the kingdom to all Christian Scientists, — the 
Saints of the most High. 



But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away 
his [mortal mind's] dominion, to consume and to de- 
stroy it unto the end. (Daniel, 7 .26.) 



And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness 
of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be 
given to the people of the saints of the most High, 
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all 
dominions shall serve and obey him. (Daniel, 7:27.)

Once again Daniel lifted up his eyes and saw, as if 
pictured on canvas, the battle of Truth with error. 



Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, 
there stood before the river a ram which had two 
horns: and the two horns were high; but one was 
higher than the other, and the higher came up last. 

(Daniel, 8:3.) 



The two horns of the ram, — the ''two individual 
natures in one;'' the "compounded spiritual individual- 
ity" (S. & H., p. 577) ; ... ''the two anointed 
•ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth" 
(Zechariah, 4:14); the Two Witnesses; "the two olive 
trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God 
of the earth" (Revelation, 11 13, 4) ; the two horns of 
the ram standing before the river, — the Holy One of 
Israel, the channel for the highest spiritual thought of 
to-day; of which one "came up [embraced Christian 
Science] last.'' 

I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, 
and southward; so that no beasts might stand before 
him, neither was there any that could deliver out of 
his hand; but he did according to his will, and became 
great. (Daniel, 8:4.) 



62 arise! take thy jol'rnev. 

And again, pouring through the Two Witnesses or 
the "two horns,'' — the ram, — the hght of Truth, rising in 
the east, is seen "pushing westward, northward, and 
southward." 



And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came 
from the west on the face of the whole earth, and 
touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable 
horn between his eyes. (Daniel, 8:5.) 



And he came to the ram that had two horns, which 
I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto 
him in the fury of his power. (Daniel, 8:6.) 



And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he 
was moved with choler against him, and smote the 
ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no 
power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast

him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and 
there was none that could deliver the ram out of his 
hand. (Daniel, 8:7.) 



Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when 
he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it 
came up four notable ones toward the four winds of 
heaven. (Daniel, 8:8.) 



And out of one of them came forth a little horn, 
which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and 
toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 

(Daniel 8:9.) 



And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and 
it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the 
ground, and stamped upon them. (Daniel, 8:10.) 



As the ram pushes westward against the forces of 
error, behold *'an he goat," with **a notable horn between 
his eyes" (hypnotism, — the illusive force of mortal mind). 



64 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. 

comes "from the west" (the opposite of Truth), "touch- 
ing not the ground" (being mental) ; and smites the 
ram, breaking his two horns; — a mental assassination 
('*he shall be broken without hand/' — Daniel, 8:25) 
prophesied and further described in Revelation, 1 1 7. 



And the ''he goat" prevails for a short time only, 
— error risen to its height, destroys itself. The "little 
horn" comes forth from one of the ''four notable 
ones," — the ''Branch" grows out of the roots of the "rod 
out of the stem of Jesse" (Isaiah, 11 :i), — and waxes 
''exceeding great" (grows strong in the realization of 
divine Love) toward the "pleasant land," — the New 
Jerusalem. 



Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the 
host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, 
and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 

(Daniel, 8:11.) 
And an host was given him against the daily sacri- 
fice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the 
truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. 

(Daniel, 8:12.) 



Al'POlXTEL' WORK. 6S 

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint 
said unto that certain saint which spake, How long 
shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and 
the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanc- 
tuary and the host- [daily sacrifice] to be trodden 
under foot? (Daniel, 8:13.) 



As demonstration follows demonstration, and the 
world sees the practical illustration of the power of God 
as reflected by man, the "daily sacrifice" — time sacrificed 
daily by mortals in the universal practice of prayer to a 
personal, corporeal God (**\Miom therefore ye ignorantly 
w^orship, — Acts, 17:23), and always looked upon as 
the Truth — will be taken away; and the "sanctuary" — 
this belief in mortal consciousness so universally wor- 
shiped — will be "cast down." Spiritual power will be 
given to each one who is engaged in warfare against the 
ignorance of the age, and the "transgression of desola- 
tion'' — transgression of the true worship, that spreads 
desolation — will be "trodden under foot.'' The world 
through spiritual understanding, will rise above the slav- 
ery of mortal beliefs and will worship '*the Father in 
spirit and in truth." (John, 4:23.) 



66 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. 

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three 
hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 

(Daniel, 8:14.) 



The third verse of the eleventh chapter of Revela- 
tion, indicates the measure of time to be a thousand, two 
hundred and three score days (three years, five and a 
half months) that will elapse between the date of the 
coming of the Son of man (Matthew, 24:27), and the 
time when the mental assassination of the Two Witnesses 
will occur, as described by Daniel in the seventh verse 
above quoted. 

To this period of three years, five and a half 
months, the prophet Daniel adds in the above 
fourteenth verse a further period of two thousand 
three hundred days (a little over six years), dur- 
ing which time the belief in a personal, corporeal 
God will be destroyed in the universal consciousness,, 
and will be supplanted by the understanding that God, 
as Spirit, must be reflected mentally. He also prophesies 
that within one thousand two hundred and ninety days 
from the ending of the six-year period mentioned (three 
years and a half thereafter), ''the abomination that 
maketh desolate'' (Daniel, 12:11) will be ''set up,'' — 
the rule of Spirit, an abomination to the human (mortal 
mind), will be recognized. . . . ''Surely I come quick- 
ly.'' (Revelation, 22:20.) 



APPOINTED WORK. 67 

The Apostle John, in the eleventh verse of the 
twenty-first chapter of his Gospel, wrote of the univer- 
sal acknowledgment of Christian Science (Truth). This 
he did by allegorical reference to the number of fish- 
caught in the net by Simon Peter, which typified the num- 
ber of generations from Adam to the present day. 

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full 
of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and 
for all there were so many, yet was not the net 
broken. (John, 21 :ii.) 



In the one hundred and fifty-third generation, reck- 
oned from the time of Adam as recorded in the Bible 
(the generation of Queen Victoria being the one hundred' 
and fiftieth, — Poole's "Anglo Israel''), Christian Science- 
will be universally acknowledged as the Truth; '^yet 
was not the net broken'' — more work still to be done, — 
''the end is not yet.'' (Matthew, 24:6.) 

The Christ-Principle, will universally be acknowl- 
edged, as above indicated at the expiration of the thir- 
teen years. But the Christ-Principle will not universally 
be demonstrated, however, until the year six thousand 
from Adam (ninety odd years from to-day). Therefore, 
for a thousand years mortals will enjoy heaven (harmony) 
on earth, during which period of time Satan will be 
bound. (Revelation, 20:2.) This will be the ^Millennium. 



68 



The ram which thou sawest having two horns are 
the kings of Media and Persia. (Daniel, 8:20.) 



The words ]\Iedia and Persia (the Two Witnesses, 
who stand as firm as the law of the Medes and Persians 
in the realization of divine Love) are used by the Prophet 
to turn away the thought of the world from the true 
meaning of the prophecy until, the hidden meaning could 
be discerned at the appointed time. So again, in the fol- 
lowing verse, the mention of the king of Grecia directs 
the thought back to ancient countries. 



And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the 
great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 

(Daniel, 8:21.) 



This rough goat is a type of the highly cultivated 
(Grecia) avenues for mortal mind, — the king, or ruling 
influence with mortals, before they awaken to the truth, 
of being. 



APPOINTED WORK. 69 

Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for 
it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but 
not in his power. (Daniel, 8:22.) 



Thanks be to God for the glorious promise that the 
power of mortal mind is temporal, and that spiritual 
power will eventually prevail.

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of 
thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor 
weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 

So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my 
wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. 

II. ESDRAS, 9 : 38-47. 

And when I spake these things in my heart, I looked back 
with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a J^oman — 
woman, and behold, she mourned and wept with oneof^israei 
a loud voice, and was much grieved in heart, and her clothes 
were rent, and she had ashes upon her head. 



134 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. . 

Then I let my thoughts go that I was in, and turned me 
unto her. 

And said unto her, Wherefore weepest thou? why art thou 
so grieved in thy mind? 

And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail 
myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my 
mind, and brought very low. 

And I said unto her, What aileth thee? tell me. 

She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, and had 
no child, though I had an husband thirty years. 

And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, 
and every hour, but make my prayer to the Highest. 

After thirty years God heard me thine handmaid, looked 
upon my misery, considered my trouble, and gave me a son: 
and I was very glad of him, so was my husband also, and all 
my neighbors: and we gave great honor unto the Almighty. 

And I nourished him with great travail. 

So when he grew up, and came to the time that ^ °^^.^^^ 

he should have a wife, I made a feast. li/f e supper 

of the Lamb. 

IT. ESDRAS, 10 : I, 40-48. 

And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into- 
his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died. 



STORY IN DETAIL. 135 

This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou 
lately sawest: 

Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to 

comfort her; 

But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but 
there appeared unto thee a city builded. 

And whereas, she told thee of the death of her son, this is 
the solution: 

This woman, whom thou sawest, is Sion: and whereas she 
said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded. 

Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that she hath been 
thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there 
was no offering made in her.

CHAPTER VI. 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND BIBLE SAYINGS, AS 
SEEN IN THE LIGHT OF DIVINE SCIENCE. 



For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 

(Romans, 8:2.) 

To gain the true understanding of God and of His 
idea, — man^ — the Bible must be interpreted spiritually. 
"When the Scripture is understood, the spiritual sig- 
nification of its terms will be understood, and will con- 
tradict the interpretations that the senses give them; 
and these terms will be found to include the inspired 
meaning." (M. W., p. 190.) 

The mortal laws that have become fixed in con- 
sciousness through centuries of belief, are overcome to- 
day in a lesser degree only, than in the days of the Patri- 
archs. Every so-called material law is false, because it 



SPIRITUAL LAWS ASD BIBLE SAYINGS. 173 

is not of God. ''What are termed natural science and 
material laws are the objective states of mortal mind.'' 
(S. & H., p. 484.) Demonstration over the laws of 
impersonal evil — mortal mind — can be accomplished only 
through the spiritual realization of divine Love. In 
Christian Science the world is learning how to destroy 
the false, unreal laws of sin and sickness. This is done, 
not by fighting against them as realities ("I am not come 
to destroy, but to fulfill/' Matthew 5 : 17), but by realiz- 
ing mentally the one law,^ — the law of God ; then as dark- 
ness disappears before the light, so dark mortal beliefs 
disappear before the light of Truth, and sink into self ex- 
tinction. As sin and sickness yield to Truth, greater 
demonstrations of the power of divine Mind reflected 
through man will be evidenced, until the last enemy — 
death (a false illusion and a law of mortal belief) — will 
finally be overcome. 

Moses discovered that the laws of mortal mind were 
subject to his control through spiritual realization. He 
realized the nothingness of his rod when he cast it ''on 
the ground'' (Exodus, 4:3), and through this realization 
he was able to turn one belief into another, as when the 
rod turned into a serpent. Startled at the exhibition of 
his Christ-power, he ''fled from before it;" but he took 
the serpent "by the tail" (Exodus, 4:4), — indulged 
in mortal beliefs as little as possible, thus keeping in 
the spiritual thought, — whereupon the operation was 
reversed, and the serpent became once more a 



174 arise! take thy journey. 

rod. To produce the manifestation of leprosy, Moses 
put his ''hand into his bosom/' that is, he reahzed 
the God-power within himself, and commanded mor- 
tal mind. 'When he took it out" (Exodus,, 4:6), 
he took his spiritual dominion, and brought out the 
evidence of leprosy on mortal mind's own manifesta- 
tion, the hand ; and again realizing his God-given power, 
he "plucked it out of his bosom'' (Exodus, 4: 7), — healed 
the diseased member by the same spiritual realization. 
These manifestations were forerunners of other demon- 
strations that were wrought by Moses upon Pharaoh 
in the form of plagues, and were accomplished through 
the obedience of mortal mind to the word of God re- 
flected through man. In like manner the cloud on Mt. 
Sinai, the manna in the wilderness^ and the pillar of 
cloud by day and of fire by night, — one and all appeared 
by reason of the divine power reflected through Moses. 
Likewise sin and sickness disappear to-day, at command, 
under the realization of divine Love. The disappearance 
of disease through Truth, reflected even in the least de- 
gree, proves the Principle that was employed to produce 
the so-called miracles of the ancients. It is, indeed, but a 
question of time when the capacity to reflect divine Love 
will develop, through self-purification, to an extent suffi- 
cient to perform the ''greater works" prophesied by Jesus. 
(John, 14: 12.) 

In the days of so-called miracles, some one individ- 
ual, at least, was cognizant of the Christ-Principle, — 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND BIBLE SAVINGS. 175 

''kept secret from the foundation of the world" (Mat- 
thew, 13:35), and fully revealed in Christian Science 
to-day. 

Among other laws of mortal mind, Moses demon- 
strated over the law of friction, when the ''raiment waxed 
not old" in the forty years wandering of the Children of 
Israel. (Deuteronmy, 8:4.) Elisha overcame the law 
of gravitation when he brought the ax to the surface of 
the water. (II. Kings, 6: 5, 6.) 

When Jesus walked on the waves, he demonstrated 
over this same law (Matthew^ 14:25-27);, even as Elisha 
did, through the understanding that all force of attrac- 
tion is in divine ]\Iind only, and not in matter ; and when 
''immediately the ship was at the land whither they went" 
(John, 6:21), the mortal belief of the resisting power 
of water was annulled through the divine understanding 
reflected by Jesus. His command to the fig tree that no 
fruit should grow thereon (^Matthew, 21:19), was a 
rebuke from God, through the Christ idea, to the mortal 
law of capillary attraction. Jesus said: . . . "If ye have 
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this 
mountain^ Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall 
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." 
(Matthew, 17: 20.) 

Were the spiritual realization of to-day sufficient to 
annul the law of gravitation, together with other laws 
of mortal mind that hold the seemingly ponderous mat- 
ter formation of earth and rocks (admitted by even 



176 arise! take thy journey. 

physicists to be but a form of illusive consciousness), the 
mountain would remove, as Jesus said. 

This promised power is the re-discovered spiritual 
realization of divine Love, and is universally being re- 
flected through His highest ideas, the sons and daughters 
of God, — ''heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ/' 
(Romans, 8:17.) 

Elisha fed an hundred men on twenty loaves of 
barley; and ''they did eat and left therof/' (II. Kings, 

4 :44.) 

Jesus fed five thousand people on five barley loaves 
and two small fishes; and twelve baskets of fragments 
remained. (John, 6 : 13.) 

Jesus said to the impotent man, "Rise, take up 
thy bed and walk.'' (John, 5 : 8.) 

Peter, the fisherman, healed the cripple. (Acts, 

3:8.)^ 

Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come 
forth. And he that was dead came forth," . . . (John 

II :43, 44.) 

Peter, the fisherman, raised up Dorcas-Tabitha fronr 
the belief of death. (Acts, 9 : 40.) 

All these so-called miracles were effected by the 
power of divine Mind as reflected through man. 

Power to control the elements is but a degree of* 
spiritual realization. Noah produced the flood when 
"the Lord shut him in" (Genesis, 7 : 16) ; that is to 
say, when material sense was shut out, Noah abode in 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND BIBLE SAYINGS. 177 

the ark-consciousness, "by the which he condemned the 
world/' (Hebrews, 11:17.) I^^ this way, Ehjah also 
produced the rain on ]Mount Carmel. (I. Kings, 18 -.44^ 

45.) 

The cause of earthquakes, of so frequent occurrence 
during the past years as to challenge the attention of 
scientsist throughout the world, and prophesied to occur 
''in divers places'' (Matthew, 24 17), — is apparent to- 
day to those who are awakened to Truth. The spiritual 
thoughts that go out into consciousness and that are re- 
flected through thousands of God's ideas, who, in these 
latter days, ''despise not prophesyings," disrupt the so- 
called laws of cohesion and adhesion, which hold the earth 
(a mental product of mortal mind) together; these laws 
yield to the influence of Truth, and the earth quakes 
along the lines of least resistance. 

The sweating of "drops of blood" (Luke, 22 144) 
in the garden of Gethsemane was the beginning of the 
subjection to Christ of these samQ laws of cohesion and 
adhesion, afterwards accomplished, "when he ascended 
up on high" and "led captivity captive." (Ephesians, 

4:8.) 

The sun, giving heat and light to the material world,. 
is mortal mind's concept of the real sun created by God. 
In other words, God's idea, the real sun, — the material 
sun being the false concept, — reflects light to the real 
universe. Were the material sun of God's creation, it 
could never have stood still for Joshua "upon Gibeon""

^ loshna. 10:12), nor Isaiah the I'rophet could never have 
brought the shadow "ten degrees backward." (II. 

Kings, 20 : II.) 

The -reason Moses occupied forty years m leadmg 
rhe children of Israel through the wilderness (Numbers,, 
14 :33), a iournev they could have accomplished in a 
few weeks, was to enable him to achieve certain works 
that would proclaim him a spiritual leader and an oracle 
of God. His savings and teachings, as incorporated m 
the Bible, must universally be accepted and thus become 
fixed laws unto themselves, if the human race is to awaken 
from the mesmeric dream of life in matter. 

:\Ioses, through wisdom given him of God, early 
appreciated the necessitv of shortening the span of human 
life, until the world could attain the understanding that 
life' is in Mind and not in matter. He well knew that 
frequent death, in strong contrast to the then existing 
length of days, would actuate the race to ponder man's re- 
lationship to God. 

Under Moses' law of limitation, the span of life was 
shortened to an hundred and twenty years. 



yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty 
years. (Genesis, 6:3.) 

Centuries afterwards, at the time when the ninetieth 
Psalm was put into consciousness, the age of man became 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND IJIBLE SAYINGS. 179 

reduced, even to three score years and ten; to this 
settled behef humanity bows to-day. 

But this law of limitation is yielding to the power 
of Truth, since statistics show a notable lengthen- 
ing of life within recent years. The death rate of The 
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, furnishes an 
illustration of the marked progress made in the under- 
standing of Life, in contra-distinction to the belief in 
death, among the ranks of Christian Scientists. Of the 
twenty-two thousand, one hundred and thirty-nine mem- 
bers in the year 190 1, the death rate was two and thirty- 
two one hundredths per one thousand, or seventeen and 
thirty-eight one hundredths per one thousand less than 
the death rate in the City of Boston. 

Again, as a further regulator of the human race, 
]\Ioses evolved the law, 'Tn sorrow thou shalt bring forth 
children'' (Genesis, 3 : 16), thus imposing a limitation 
on propagation through the efficient operation of fear. 

Since, within the past two hundred years, both men 
and women have suffered martyrdom for their religious 
beliefs, from superstitious persecutors, is it a cause for 
wonder, then, that ]\Ioses did not impart this high truth 
to the dense understanding of the Children of Israel, 
That man is a mental, and not a physical being? And 
that he covered his face with a veil (Exodus, 34 : 33) 
to hide the change of his countenance — the Christ on the 
flesh — wrought by his mental communion on Mount 
Sinai? Sixteen hundred years later Jesus declared, 'T 



180 arise! take thy journey. 

have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot 
bear them now/' (John, i6 : 12.) His allusions to the 
fact that we are mental beings, were notably few, such as, 
''A spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have'' 
(Luke, 24 139), and again, "Ye are of your father the 
devil." (John, 8 : 44-) 

The declaration, "I have meat to eat that ye know 
not of (John, 4 : 32), carried with it a hidden meaning— 
that the Master was sustained by the substance of 
thought. But the human mind, even to-day, resists the 
truth embodied in the statement, "All is Mind and Mind's

There is no death. 

Man (not matter) was made a spiritual being in 
God's image and likeness; 



So God created man in his own image, in the image 
of God created he him; male and female created he 
them; Genesis, 1:27.) 



and if man— immortal— was created after God's image, 
man is the same, "yesterday, and to-day, and forever.'^

''Mortals waken from the dream of death, with 
bodies unseen by those who think they bury the body." 
(S. & H., p. 429.) 

Question, — Where do they waken? 

Answer. — On other planets. 



And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under 
the altar the souls of them that were slain for the 
word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 



And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How 
long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and 
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 

(Revelation, 6:9, 10.) 



The opening of the fifth seal of error (the fifth stage 
of spiritual growth in the individual consciousness of the 
man child) follows the present period (1907), — the begin- 
ning of the opening of the fourth seal. (Revelation, 6:7.) 
Concurrent with this event, when the universal conscious- 
ness will be leavened with Truth, the thoughts of those 
who have passed out and who are living on other planets, 
will be scientifically discerned from this earth. 

The word ''under'' is typical of understanding; 
''altar'' is typical of worship. Therefore, "under the 
altar," would indicate: Understanding what is uni-

versally worshipped in belief^ — that man dies. But John, 
knowing the reverse to be true, namely, that Hfe is in 
Mind, and that man is immortal, — ''saw," or scientifically 
discerned the thoughts (souls) of those ''slain for the 
word of God/' Through this realization of Truth, he 
foresaw a mental communication with the martyrs — the 
most spiritually-minded Christians who have gone be- 
fore. 

To "judge" is to bring understanding; to "avenge," 
is to vindicate or to prove true ; "blood" is typical of 
Life. The fact that "they cried with a loud voice," im- 
plies a claim of distance. "How long, O Lord, holy and 
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them 
that dwell on the earth?" is a cry to God from the 
martyred ones looking back to earth and saying : How 
long will it be, O Lord, before understanding wall be 
brought to those dwelling on the earth, to vindicate and 
to prove it true to them, that, our Life was never taken ? 

The answer is found in the following verse : 

And white robes were given unto every one of 
them; and it was said unto them, that they should 
rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants 
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they 
were, should be fulfilled, (Revelation, 6:ii.) 

"that they should rest yet for a little season," — until 
the year nineteen hundred and eleven, or the time when, 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND P.IP.l.E SAYINGS. 183 

through the Two Witnesses, a second ilhistration, or 
proof, that Hfe is -in Mind and not in matter, should come 
to a doubting world in the overcoming of the "last 
enemy." 

''Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord"' 
(Revelation, 14 : 13), or pass out with the light of Truth. 

As these tell the secret to others, the process of 
wakening from the dream of life in matter will extend to 
other planets. The Truth will be understood by those 
most spiritual, who, in turn, will encourage their breth- 
ren in their struggle for freedom. 



Thy faith hath made thee whole. (Alatthew, 

9 :22.) 

The word faith is defined as the ''assent of the mind, 
or understanding, to the truth of what God has re- 
vealed." This definition finds illustration in the circum- 
stances surrounding the healing of the woman by Jesus, 
as told by ^Matthew. The woman was not healed through 
her blind faith, but because her human mind turned to 
Christ. ''Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, be- 
ing alone" (James, 2 : 17) ; but faith, as spiritual un- 
derstanding, quickens the force of Spirit, and is alive 
wdth results. This quickening influence of divine Love, 
that was reflected through the Master, entered the 



184 ARISE ! TAKE THY JOURNEY. 

woman's consciousness, and awakened her Christ, — or 
her spiritual understanding, which is imphed by Jesus in 
using the word faith, — dispelled all mortal beliefs of sick- 
ness, and made her whole. In other words, Jesus de^ 
clared, in substance : 

Thy awakened Christ, — faith, — quickened into ac- 
tivity by the reflection of Truth, Life and Love, ''a law 
of annihilation to everything unlike themselves" (S. & 
H., p. 243), hath made thee whole. 

Again, metaphysical healing finds illustration in the 
words of Paul, the apostle : 



The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly be- 
holding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be 
healed, 

Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. 
And he leaped and walked. (Acts, 14:9, 10.) 



While ''steadfastly beholding him," Paul silently 
realized the cripple's spiritual reality, and, in ''perceiving 
he had faith," Paul knew that this realization, the force 
of divine Love, was awakening the cripple's understand- 
ing of God, — his Christ, or divinity; this quickened 
activity accomplished the healing described.

Appearing and Reappearing of Christ. 
JUDGES, 9: 8-15. 

The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king 
over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign 
thou over us. 

But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave 
my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and 
man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 

And the trees said to the fig tree. Come thou, and 
reign over us. 

But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake 
my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be pro- 
moted over the trees? 

Then said the trees unto the vine. Come thou and 
reign over us. 

And the vine said unto them. Should I leave my 
wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be pro- 
moted over the trees? 

Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come 
thou, and reign over us. 

And the bramble said unto the trees. If in truth ye 
anoint me king over you, then come and put your 
trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of 
the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

God's creation spiritual, not InIaterial. 



. . . Behold, I have given you every herb bearing 
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and 
every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding 
seed; to you it shall be for meat. (Genesis, i : 29.) 



Man is the highest idea of Goers creation ; animals^ 
herbs, and trees are also ideas of God, and are likewise 
perfect and eternal. Divine Love — the sustaining spirit- 
ual substance or ''meat" — reflects through man, as well 
as through all animals, herbs, and trees. 



And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this 
great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 

(Exodus, 3:3.) 



]\Ioses ''turned aside," turned away from material 
thought, and saw, instead of the false material bush, 
the spiritual bush,, scintillaitng w^ith the ''consuming' 
ing fire" of divine Love. 

This reflection of Spirit through Moses, far from 
consuming the false, material bush, quickened it with 
power. Had the bush been diseased, or withered, 
a restoration to health, and harmony would have 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND BIBLE SAYINGS. 187 

occurred, even as the Spirit quickens a diseased mortal 
body. (Romans, 8 : ii.) When God called to Moses 
''out of the midst of the bush" (Exodus, 3:4), "Love" 
became ''reflected in love/' (S. & H., p. 17.) Through 
this understanding of divine Love, peace and rest of mind 
and body ever come to man, whether immersed in the 
cares of life, or whether, alone with nature, listening to 
the language of the flowers. 

And when thought is universally changed, and God's 
creation recognized as spiritual, and not material, then, 
only, will nature be transformed, and, 

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and 
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: 
and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an ever- 
lasting sign that shall not be cut off. (Isaiah, 55:13.) 

That divine Love is reflected through the animal 
kingdom, as well as through herbs and trees, finds illus- 
tration in the feeding of Elijah by the ravens (L King?. 
17 :6), and in the reflection of the word of God to 
Balaam, through a seemingly dumb animal. (Numbers, 
22 : 28.)

BXttle of the Amalekites. (Exodus, 17 : 8-12.) 

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in 
Rephidim. 

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, 
and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will 
stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in 
mine hand. 

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and 
fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur 
went up to the top of the hill. 



SPIRITUAL LAWS AND BIBLE SAYINGS. 189 

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, 
that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, 
Amalek prevailed. 

But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a 
stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and v 
Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the 
one side, and the other on the other side; and his 
hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 



The battle of the Israelites with the xVmalekites was 
won only by most faithful work on the part of the 
spiritual leader of that age, and stands for the type of the 
mental battle between Truth and error to-day. 

Moses was sustained by the Christ-Principle, — the 
stone or rock, under him ; while Aaron and Hur's assist- 
ance, their holding up his hands (power), was the im- 
personal mental work on their part that reflected 
strength and support to their leader. 

When the claim of weariness comes, with fear to 
press forward in the race for immortality, the Amale- 
kites will prevail; but when loyal Christian Scientists 
hold up the hands of the spiritual Leader of the world 
to-day, and sustain her with the impersonal power of 
God, the battle will turn in favor of Truth, and victory 
will be won in the final fall of error,— the ''going down 
of the [material] sun.''

(Genesis, i : 11.) 

As the Earth is ''a sphere, a type of eternity and im-

(S. & H., p. 585), so is Grass a type of hmiiility: — 'The 
grass beneath onr feet silently exclaims, 'The meek shall 
inherit the earth/" (S. & H., p. 516.) ''Let the earth 
bring forth grass," — allow^ the understanding of immor- 
tality to enter the consciousness, and bring forth hu- 
mility, the only quality through which all things are 
inherited ! Through this understanding. Nature is 
spiritually discerned, — . . . "the herb yielding seed, 
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose 
seed is in itself, upon the earth." (Genesis, i : 11.)

mind, and will be supplanted by the understanding that 
life is in God, and that no one has ever died. 

Automobiles of prophecy. 

The prophets of old discerned not only what had 
forever been in divine Mind, but they saw, as well, the 
mental picture of seeming existence in the mortal dream. 
A startling proof of accurate prophecy is to be found 
in the fourth verse of the second chapter of Nahum : 

The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall 
justle one against the other in the broad ways: they 
shall seem like torches, they shall run like the light- 
nings.

will not sacrifice any time in bringing it about. 

Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and 
ASHES. (Job, 42 : 6.) 

To ''repent in dust and ashes/' is to gain the spiritual 
realization of mortal man's nothingness (dust). This 
puts into operation the force of Spirit, the consum- 
ing fire of Love, — reducing to ashes all false thoughts or 
beliefs, and brings the ''forgiveness of sin in the destruc- 
tion of sin." (S. & H., p. 497.) 

Only begotten son. 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

These words have universally been interpreted to

however, as here used, is the Christ-idea, — "begotten,*' 
— derived from the Father, and brought into the world 
through Jesus. In other words, God so loved the world

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant 
knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called 
you friends; for all things that I have heard of my 
Father I have made known unto you. 

(John, 15:15.) 



Jesus saw the spiritual man where the mortal bodv 
seemed to be, and, through the reflection of divine 
intelligence, he awakened the consciousness of the disci- 
ples by making known unto them all things he had heard 
of the Father. He lifted their thoughts to the under- 
standing of their relationship to God ; to the understand- 
ing that they were spiritual, and not material, and hence 
they passed from death (John, 5 : 24) (the belief of life 
in matter), unto life (the understanding of life in ]\.[ind). 
Their rising to this spiritual plane enabled Jesus to call 
them ''friends."

Sweet rest to find.

Who is left among you that saw this house in her 
first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in

A new man rise, a nobler part to play ; 

God's will be done ! 
No more in earth can sorrow find a place ; 
The dear ones, parted, shall meet face to face ; 

Christ's Kingdom Come!
